Smears and health privatiser have failed to oust former Labour leader
Labour sources have said they have failed to oust former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. The margin of victory is rumoured to be tight, as few as 700 votes compared to Corbyn’s previous huge majorities, but the result – if confirmed when the result is declared around 3am – will still be an embarrassment for Starmer’s Labour, particularly when many think Corbyn limited his own campaign by declaring his independent candidacy only after the election was called.
Huge, albeit provisional, congratulations to Corbyn. Let’s hope the result is confirmed in due course.
Update 2.42am: local sources are saying that Corbyn has indeed won.
Update 3.20am: confirmed, Corbyn has won – with 50% more votes than Labour’s Nargund!
